Trailer Jongué, A Nomad’s Journey
Joël Des Rosiers as Narrator (voice) Following the economic collapse of a company town in rural Nevada, Fern (Frances McDormand) packs her van and sets off on the road exploring a life outside of conventional society as a modern-day. Fern is the unforgettable center of Chloé Zhao's masterful "Nomadland," a movie that finds poetry in the story of a seemingly average woman. It is a gorgeous film that's alternately dreamlike in the way it captures the beauty of this country and grounded in its story about the kind of person we don't usually see in movies.
When Bruce Chatwin was dying of AIDS, his friend Werner Herzog made a final visit. As a parting gift, Chatwin gave him his rucksack. Thirty years later, Herzog sets out on his own journey. I say all of this not because I think that a recitation of Herzog's bona fides is needed, but as a way of signaling to you that when I say that his latest documentary, "Nomad: In the Footsteps of Bruce Chatwin," is one of the most deeply personal films of his long and brilliant career, I am not just indulging in a bit of critical hyperbole.
